Research Notes on Provigil Dosage

For those patients being treated for narcolepsy or sleep apnea, the typical dosage of Provigil is 200 mg once daily, taken in the morning. When treating shift work sleep disorder, 200 mg is taken approximately one hour prior to their work shift starting. A lower 100 mg dosage of Provigil is generally prescribed to elderly patients, or those suffering from liver disease. Although not approved by the FDA, Provigil is also sometime used for the treatment of ADHD, depression, and chronic fatigue.1
